TopList toplist.php and list.php file include
| toplist-toplist-list-file-include (26172) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
TopList could allow a remote attacker to include malicious PHP files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the toplist.php script using the 'phpbb_root_path' parameter or to the list.php script using the 'returnpath' parameter to specify a malicious PHP file from the local or a remote system, which would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
